If NASA says it there must be some truth in it

Well said. But NASA should say something in their defence when prediciions do not come about.

@allknowing If they are we are never likely to know about it. We will be left in the dark as usual.

@Asylum Then that page will be brought down. Actually there could be some truth as at this moment it is cloudy here although it has not rained.

What baffles me is that how a legitimate site like .healthylifeland.com can publish this news. Will they not be taken to task for this false news if at all?

Spreading stories of a Body as huge as NASA needs guts.

@allknowing The larger websites must be checking to see if we are are awake. I know it seems like they don't have much quality control.

@Bluedoll Would you have kept quiet if someone spread rumours in your name. I would not. And NASA is quiet. Is it not odd?

I also think it is odd when it is doing the rounds so blatantly

@allknowing May be NASA does not want to make the person who came up with this to feel important.

@valmnz Imagine our plight if it did happen.

I have said this already in my comments here but Val how can anyone publicly talk about an Institution such as NASA ridiculing them? And why is NASA dragged into this and at the same time why is NASA quiet about it? I am confused.

@allknowing I have no idea. But I don't anticipate being in darkness in a few days time.

@allknowing Why should NASA care about something so petty? This rumour is so absurd that they will not see any anything to be concerned about. The earth is much nearer to Venus than Jupiter is, so if we feel no heat from it then how can it possibly affect Jupiter. We are also between Jupiter and the Sun, so if it was possible for Jupiter to raise the temperature of the Sun's surface then it would certainly not be dark on Earth because the planet would be totally destroyed in the heat.

There are many sites reporting this very story, but none that can offer any tangible evidence. It has always been common knowledge that a rumour can spread quickly, but this seems to be an extreme example.

@Asylum Why is NASA then not coming forward squashing this rumour?

I have read this article but what puzzles me is that why NASA is allowing its name to be dragged when what is being said is not true?

As I have already commented below I do not understand why NASA is keeping quiet when such news is spread in their name, if there is no truth in it. I find this whole thing odd.Also the site that has put up this article surely has some standing. What does it benefit by spreading such news if there is no element of truth in it.
